Former Liverpool defender's next club confirmed after emotional exit

Former Liverpool Women defender Rhiannon Roberts will join Spanish side Real Betis upon the expiry of her contract at the end of the month.

The 32-year-old joined the club in 2018 and spent five seasons with the Reds, operating in a number of positions including midfield, right-back and centre-back. She was part of Matt Beard's promotion-winning team in the 2021/22 season and helped the club secure their top-flight status with a seventh-placed finish last term.

In total, Roberts made just shy of a century of appearances for Liverpool and has over 50 caps for the Wales national team. Following her final game for the club against Manchester United last month, she gave an emotional farewell: “I’ve been here for quite a while and I’m going to miss the girls, the fans, everyone so, so much, but it has been an absolute pleasure to play for this club.
